After Dave's last monologue joke, the juggling Slapinski Brothers walk out juggling 6 bowling pins. The toss the pins back and forth around Dave, and then exit out the alley doors.

It's Thursday night and time for America's Fastest Growing Quiz Sensation, Know Your Current Events.
CONTESTANT #1: Herb from Ontario, Canada. Dave and Herb talk about Halloween. Herb says in Canada, Halloween has already come and gone. Paul chimes in. Paul says Halloween is celebrated on the same day; it is Thanksgiving that is celebrated earlier in Canada than in the U.S. Herb admits his error. But why is Thanksgiving celebrated earlier in Canada. Class? That's right, because of the early harvest.
Tonight's categories include:
Know Your Current Events
Know Your Cuts of Meat
Know Your Halloween Candy
Know Your CBS 75th Anniversary
Know Your Liza Minnelli-David Gest Marriage.

CONTESTANT #2: Amanda from Atlanta, Georgia. Amanda is originally from Michigan. She is here with her husband Josh. We learn from Amanda the difference between cement and concrete.

Did you watch the "Ed" last night on NBC? Our friend Rupert Jee was on the show. Previously on "Ed" has been Paul Shaffer, Alan Kalter, and Kenny Sheehan. Last night's was Rupert's turn. In the scene, Ed and Carol walked into the Hello Deli. Carol was on a celebrity search.
Did Rupert have anything to tell? He says he refuses to speak to the media since he got hosed by the Observer.
Before leaving, Ed buys a $39 dollar Hello Deli T-shirt.

Hey! We got a Juggs gun on the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theater Building. And we got a guy up there shooting footballs from the machine. He and the machine are 90 feet up and he'll be shooting footballs from the Juggs down to 53rd Street. Later in the show, Dante Hall will attempt to catch one. Meanwhile, let's see what it looks like. The gentleman fires one football into the darkness. We decide to fire another one since we really didn't see much of that one. On the second shoot, we see it fly through the air and stagehand Kenny Sheehan on 53rd unsuccessfully tries to catch it. We do it one more time. Dave sense the excitement ebbs following each football through the Juggs. Dave wants to shoot the footballs at something. The guy on the Juggs says he sees a metermaid and takes aim. He fires another and it falls majestically to the street. The excitement ebbs the more this is done.

MEET THE GOVERNOR: In tonight's episode, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger takes a meeting. We see the fine Governor-elect dancing with a fancy and near-naked woman.

Osama has sent America another message. We see Osama with a compatriot. Osama speaks: "Have a spooky but safe Halloween, everyone. From all your friends at Al Qaeda. Woo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!" I still don't like that guy.

TOP TEN: THINGS NEVER BEFORE SAID BY WOLF BLITZER - and to present the top ten list, we sent CNN Newsman Wolf Blitzer and a hidden camera to the streets of New York City.
#9. "Have you seen Peter Jennings around here? That sum bitch owes me money."
#2. "I'm going on CNN in five minutes. What's the vice president's name again?"
#1. "The Wolf in on the prowl, ladies."

More with footballs from the roof. Dave tells us the guy on the Juggs is named Gary Krupski.
How about the building across the street? No. Dave wants to shoot the footballs at something and break it. The guy aims the Juggs machine across 53rd Street at a building. The Juggs sends a football across the street and hits the building but not a window. Dave decides we will try again later when we have a better target.

ERIC MCCORMACK: dressed in all black. He's from the "Will & Grace" show. All the other Will and Graces have been on the show but this is Eric's first time here. "Will & Grace" is a very popular show and I usually watch it through the reflection in my office window as I type the Thursday Wahoo following our double-taping. If there is a Yankee game on I'll watch that. It's always odd to see batters run to "third base" after they hit the ball, but of course that's due to watching the game in the reflection.

This summer Eric and family rented a Winnebago and traveled to Montana. He says it's odd for people to see the guy from the gay show pulling up in a motor home. "Hey, Mabel, it's the gay guy from the TV!"
Stopping in Big Fork, Montana, he was stopped by a local. The guy said, "You know, you look just like the guy from 'Friends.'" Eric says no he doesn't. The guy is adamant. "You look just like that guy from 'Friends.'" Eric then tells him, "No, I look like that guy form 'Will and Grace.'" The guy looks him over and says, "No you don't."

Like all of our guests this week, Eric is from Canada. One of his first roles was in a police drama entitled, "Katts and Dog." It was a police officer named Katts who worked in the canine unit. His partner was a dog. In the clip we saw, Eric played the part of a bad guy who just threw his wife off the side of a building. Eric then tried to pin the blame on the police dog. The angry dog chomped on Eric's arm.
CBS, I hope you're watching. We gotta get "Katts and Dog." GET ME MOONVES ON THE PHONE!

ACT 5 - " How much candy corn can George Clarke fit in his mouth? Answer: 43.

DANTE HALL: From your undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. Dante is an All-Pro kick and punt returner for the Chiefs. This year he returned 4 kickoffs or punts for a touchdown in 4 consecutive games, an NFL record. He has scored 11 touchdowns in his career. Average distance per touchdown: 79.8 yards, also an NFL record. YIKES!

Nice guy, Dante. Wise man, too. Spoke highly of his blockers. We look at one of his recent punt returns he ran back for a touchdown and Dante admits he made about 5 mistakes on the play.
1. he fielded the punt inside the 10-yard line. You're supposed to let the ball go and hope it bounces into the endzone for a touchback.
2. he ran back towards his own goal line. When he went back to the 5-yard line he knew he made a mistake. Since he realized he already screwed up, he figured he would just keep doing the same. He went back to the two-yard line.
That's the only two I could see.
Dante Hall is having one heck of a season for the Kansas City Chiefs. Brian Hall, a former intern at the Late Show and a big Kansas City Chiefs fan, is not related to Dante.

To finish the show, Dante goes out to 53rd Street to snare a football from the Juggs. Approximate distance: 90 feet high, 80 yards away.

And that was our show for Thursday, October 30, 2003. Wahoo EXTRA!

Be sure to watch Friday's show. It features New Halloween Costumes and the McIntee girls make their network television debut. Look for Dominique and Danielle. And then turn to the Tony Mendez Show as I make a very special appearance.

WILL IT FLOAT ITEM: A 5-gallon bucket filled with candy corn. And who is on cape?

I received this e-mail the other day.

"I was looking through the emails at Cortland and found you. I'm sure you haven't slept with a keg in a closet for some time now. Hope you are well. Let me know how things are going."
-John

To this "John" person. I don't ever remember sleeping with a keg in a closet. But then, I don't remember two of my four years at Cortland.

Today's traffic jam on the West Side Highway was brought to you by a guy standing frozen just off the highway, facing traffic, holding a fishing pole. Every commuter felt the need to slow down to look at the guy standing frozen just off the highway, facing traffic, and holding a fishing pole.

This guy has been doing this for on and off for about a year now. Last Sunday, the Post or the News had a big article on him. He's homeless, unemployed, and calls himself an artist and an actor. Wow! Talk about redundant, redundant, and redundant. This article will only encourage the guy.
